stroke it one vay repeatedly against a magnet
Rub the needle across a magnetic surface...always in the same direction, don't go back and forth. This will magnetise the needle. Then float the needle in a dish of water. And presto you have your own compass
You can magnetize a needle by rubbing it against a magnet in one direction multiple times. This process aligns the magnetic domains within the needle to create a magnetic field. Alternatively, you can use a strong electrical current to induce magnetization in the needle.
You should use a steel bowl to magnetize a needle. Steel, being ferromagnetic, can enhance the magnetic field and help align the needle's domains, effectively magnetizing it. In contrast, a glass bowl is non-magnetic and will not contribute to the magnetization process.
There are several ways. 1. Stroke the needle in one direction, with another magnet. 2. Place it in a coil of wire and pass a large (DC) current through the coil for a few seconds. (This is how they would do it commercially) 3. Align the needle with the magnetic north/south direction, now hit it several times. It will eventually take on the earths magnetic field as it's own.
The magnetic materials which can magnetise and de-magnetise easily are called "soft magnetic materials" example:-ferrites,iron-cobalt alloy. The magnetic materials which cannot magnetise and de-magnetise easily are called "hard magnetic materials" example:-aluminium(al),nickel-cobalt alloy.
Rub the iron needle along one direction on the strong bar magnet repeatedly until it becomes magnetized. Make sure to always rub it in the same direction to ensure a consistent magnetic field. This process aligns the magnetic domains within the iron needle, causing it to become permanently magnetized.

The verb form for "magnet" is "magnetize."
Electromagnets are only magnetised while the electrical current is switched on.
Make a significant difference. This would be referring to the needle of a measurement instrument; moving the needle would be really showing up on the measurement scale.
That was like looking for a needle in a haystack of needles!
